The IAF will get delivery of the first four jets in France in September this year, which will be followed by training of the `main` induction team of around 10 pilots, 10 flight engineers and 40 technicians there. These jets will arrive at the Ambala airbase in Haryana in May 2020. But the 13 India-specific enhancements will become fully operational only by September-October 2022.
